Knowledge is power: You're invited to host or attend a Duolingo Educator training!

We hope that the 2016 school year is off to an amazing start. You've likely seen the new assignments feature- let us know your feedback! We are excited to hear from you.

We've trained thousands of educators from across the world in best practices for Duolingo for Schools, and we're gearing up for more opportunities to connect with and learn from your peers and leave with best practices.

We'd like to let you know about some training opportunities that are being offered (and open) in CT, NYC and on the web over the next weeks. These are designed for educators (administrators, tech specialists at a school or university, professors, teachers).

I really would like to know about the webinar you had. Is there someplace I can "get it" and watch it???I am trying to have a "duolingo" class...explore class and I have implemented lots of ideas but really need some help and MORE ideas!!

I've been making it up as I go:). I assign some beginning activities regarding their histories and background before beginning duo lingo. Then we do a little research into some cultures. Monday's, Tuesday's and Thursday's we do duo lingo for 1/2 an hour. Wednesday's are culture days. I provide a culture activity. Friday's are conversation days and students group into like languages and practice accents, words, forming sentences, etc. I sometimes wish they had more "useful" language.., like greetings, etc. But they seem just as excited to say "I am a man" in whatever language:). I really want to give some incentives... But it is too easy for them to click on the dots and type what they see. I would LOVE to see a quiz without answers that the kids could take as a final.... Just so I could really celebrate the progress!!

Hi, I am Calixte Macso From Haiti. I am teaching Spanish and English at a high school. I have just created my classroom on Duolingo today. I would like to receive training unless that pleases you. Thank you and good work! Keep me informed when you are ready!

I just started teaching English to my neighbors who only speak Arabic. I'm using DuoLingo as my homework piece so that I can track their study habits.
Is there going to be a workshop or Webinar available this fall?
I have another question as well. Three of the boys in my class will be starting classes in our area High School. Is there a way that I can allow the ESL teacher to see their progress on DuoLingo as well?
